11. “But my people stubbornly refused to listen. They closed their minds
12. and made their hearts as hard as rock. Because they would not listen to the teaching which I sent through the prophets who lived long ago, I became very angry.
13. Because they did not listen when I spoke, I did not answer when they prayed.
14. Like a storm I swept them away to live in foreign countries. This good land was left a desolate place, with no one living in it.”
